Not everyone is aware that Link Grammar's underlying theory is far more broad than simply describing natural language. It would seem that the theory generalizes to one of describing graphs, in general (and knowledge graphs, in particular).
I just updated the wiki page https://wiki.opencog.org/w/Link_Grammar to give a brief sketch of how this theory generalizes, and how it influences the AtomSpace design. The generalization is reviewed in https://wiki.opencog.org/w/Connectors_and_Sections If you've heard these ideas before, then this page "doesn't say anything new"; it just reminds you of the names of the Atoms that implement the various concepts, such as connectors and disjuncts (connector sequences). It also points to the half-dozen PDF's that justify and articulate this generalization. If you haven't heard of these ideas before... well, enjoy! Just be aware that the ideas are deceptively simple. You might read this stuff and nod to yourself "yes, of course, obvious" until you get to something like the https://wiki.opencog.org/w/CrossSection and wonder "what the heck?" The apparent simplicity of these concepts makes them sometimes hard to understand. -- Linas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "opencog" group.
